The Skeleton of the new Sokha Hotel rises over the Mekong River. In its shadow huddles a ramshackle hovel... someone's home. Across the river a shanty town clings to the shoreline.
The Sokha Hotel (Chrouy Changva) will reside on a 14 hectare Riverfront project and will include a 798 rooms and suite, an international convention centre, Jasmine Spa, high end condominiums, exclusive villas, entertainment centers, shopping centers, restaurants and residence club house. It will also include: talian Restaurant, Japanese Restaurant, Chinese Restaurant, Bar & Karaoke, Irish Pub, Sports Bar & Musical Club, Beer Garden, Business Centre, Library, Sky & Cigar Lounges and Landscaped Swimming Pool.
I wonder if the shanty town will survive for much longer. If the developers don’t demolish it. I am sure the next time the Mekong floods it will carry it away in its path.
